If I remember the recipe right, half the hops are used as a dry hop. Just looking for your input as to which one I should go for. While I'm at it, 10-12 AAUs of any medium- to high alpha acid hop translates to how much of what hop?

 

[Nosybear]

First, use at least two packets of dried yeast, rehydrated, two tubes/smack packs of liquid yeast or make a starter. AAUs are simply the percentage of alpha acid in the hop multiplied by the weight of the hops in ounces: 2 ounces of 5% AA hops yields 10 AAU.
